HONEST PRAYERS TO A GOD WHO LISTENS
By Bunmi Laditan
As seen on The TODAY Show!
Dear God is a poignant collection of funny, often heartbreaking, and deeply insightful letters to God that bravely share the emotions we all feel as we grapple with this broken world and search for divine love.
With the same gutsy and poetic honesty that charmed readers around the world, Bunmi now shares prayers and poems that chart her faith journey toward reconnecting with the God she loved, lost, and realized had never left her side even while she wandered.
Join Bunmi as she journeys through emotions we all experience—doubt, anger, joy, desperation, love, loneliness, and gratefulness. Wittingly fresh and stunningly relatable, she exquisitely names our fears, voices our painful questions, and bravely says what we're all thinking anyway in our prayerful wrestling with God.

—AUSTIN CHANNING BROWN, New York Times bestselling author of I’m Still Here
“If you’ve ever been afraid to bring your full self to God, ashamed that deep down you’re not good enough for God to listen to, Dear God is a window into someone who has learned that faith isn’t about trusting what we know but about trusting that we are known.”
